Dolberg scores first goal of last 16 in Wales v Denmark!

The first goal of the last 16 stage was scored by Dolberg. It came in the 27th minute of the match between Wales and Denmark and he hit the ball into Ward's far corrner. Dolberg had the ball on the edge of the box after great link-up play with a teammate and he did not think twice. 

He hit the ball with enough power to not give the keeper time to react. Ward had to pick the ball out of the back of the net. Wales had been on top in the first 15 minutes, but then the Danes picked up. Denmark have been extra motivated following Christian Eriksen's cardiac arrest. 

The goal was checked by VAR to make sure Braithwaite was not offside and in the keeper's line of vision. The Barca striker was in the way, but the VAR told German referee Daniel Siebert that he was not offside. 

Dolberg's goal was his first at the tournament and that gave the Danes an all important lead.
